How to Quickly Find and Sell Old, Valuable Books and Cookbooks


Old books can make for a fun home-based business while giving you a profitable side business that will make you money and cultural experiences too. You may already have a nice collection of old, rare, vintage or antique books or cookbooks.

Cookbooks are the third most popular category among new books and a good one to start with. People often raid their parents' and grandparents' collections to find good used cookbooks.

To find and buy old books, first check your local library for its "Friends of the Library" book sales. They have annual sales of donated books and many antique dealers line up for these. Of course it helps to know your prices, so to begin with you might stick to a particular category, for example cookbooks. You can usually get books for 25 cents to a dollar and on the last day they have a bag sale.

Sometimes you can get books free at the end of the sale. But the best time to go is the night before the sale when they let the members of the "Friends" buy cheap, in advance of the sale. Membership usually runs about $10 a year and you can easily make your money back with your first sale. It's a good cause besides.

You want to look for books that you've done your research on, of course, but also look for any book from the pre 1900s in fair condition. They will usually get you at least ten times what you paid for it.

Also look at flea markets, garage sales, estate sales and auctions. I found a signed copy of a rare, signed Julia Child cookbook with dust jacket intact in fine condition at an estate sale. It was also signed by her husband Paul Child, the illustrator. The book was appraised at $500.

The house was in an area of little houses with older folks. Don't judge a book by its cover or a house by its appearance I guess is the lesson here! You never know what you'll find. I also found some other great cookbooks and books there.

To research the value I would avoid the usual rare book price guides. Many of these are outdated. The actual price is today's price.

To find out what the books should sell for, go to your favorite search engine and type in the title. You should be able to find sites that are selling the same title and give you a broad range to choose from. Finding 'sold' book prices are much better.

One you've established a price, the fastest way to sell these books is to sell them online at your own website or get a free one from any of the sites who are offering this service.

I'd definitely add photos of the books. They should be of high quality. Take close up shots of the title page and a sample recipe page. Take shots from different angles. Pick about six of your best shots.

If you're in hurry, price them lower than the other books. If you aren't in a hurry price them at the high end of the range. Then when the others are sold your price will be a bargain. Antique books will generally rise in price as they become rare.

Of course there are many other ways to sell your old books. eBay is another of course. And there are lots of ways to sell them offline too. Be open to different venues.

Finding and selling old, rare, vintage or antique books or cookbooks is great fun, with very little upfront costs. With these tips and this information, it should help you know how to start buying and selling used books and cookbooks, have a nice side home-based business, a cultural experience, and lots of fun too.

One of the best "Family" movies I have seen in a long time. I have seen it 8 times now and am not sick of it yet. Is a matter of fact I am still inviting friends over to see it.I have purchsed the movie several times for gifts.

Stellar performance by the All-star cast,Abigail Breslin is cute, with a sharp tongue, but draws humor with it. Drew Fuller, once rich kid now bum executes excellent porformance portraying both.Bill Cobbs is awesome portraying lawyer and friend of Red Stevens(James Garner).I truly would recomend this movie to everyone.

I'm a guy. I don't want a photo book with flowers, butterflies, or pink anything. This book fits the bill. It's a little hard to get the photos in the sleeves but they certainly don't fall out afterwards.

Customer Review: High Quality & Reasonable Price!

If you're looking for a very nice brag book this is the one! The leather is lovely quality (much nicer than I was expecting, actually). The price was very reasonable. Frankly, an item of this quality should have been more expensive. I bought this for a gift and he was tickled to death with it. I highly recommend buying one of these.

The author has a great deal of experience and firsthand information to share about healing, including how she cured herself after being diagnosed with cancer.

An excerpt from You Can Heal Your Life:

Life Is Really Very Simple. What We Give Out, We Get Back

What we think about ourselves becomes the truth for us. I believe that everyone, myself included, is responsible for everything in our lives, the best and the worst. Every thought we think is creating our future. Each one of us creates our experiences by our thoughts and our feelings. The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences.


Customer Review: WOW!

Lovely book to have and to give as a gift. I bought this book for many of my friends and they have loved it. Beautiful pictures and this book trasforms you life.. It makes sense why your body hurts.



Customer Review: I would buy it again!

I have not completely finished the book yet. If you follow it correctly it will take you several weeks. It really makes you think about your life and gives you new hope. I don't have a horrible life but I can feel myself slowly getting to a place that just feels great! I have noticed a change in my life already. Positive thinking and forgiving really does work!!

Some of her theories are a little "out there" (like picking our own parents) but I just look past them and move on to other things.

Buy it if you are truley ready to be happy and make serious changes in your life. You have to be ready to really look at the real reasons why you are the way you are.

DEWALT Wiring Diagrams Professional Reference (Dewalt Trade Reference Series)



DEWALT Wiring Diagrams Professional Reference (Dewalt Trade Reference Series)
The DEWALT® Wiring Diagrams Professional Reference is a must for anyone who installs or replaces electrical wiring. Filled with hundreds of diagrams and illustrations that are clear and easy to find, this handy pocket-guide covers everything from outlets, switches, lighting, motors, and controls to power distribution, transformers, grounding, low voltage, and hazardous locations. Basic wiring guidelines and specifications are also included to make this book as valuable a tool on-the-job as a pair of wire cutters.

Customer Review: is it a good book for a field electrician to have in his back pocket?

about a 1/3 of it is. the other 2/3s can be found on any electrician's bookshelf when they went through training. The pulpy 2/3 is good information but how many times you use it is so limited it is better on the bookshelf. The space in the book could have been better used to cram usefull code info, transformer wiring sizes, conduit fill tables, wire ampacity tables, lighting fixture layout and lumen levels, branch circuit wiring, and hints and tips for easier installations (like all of the slider-rule hand outs that they give away at supply house counters). So rip the 1st 1/3 out and carry it in your pocket or toolbox.
